The decomposition of leaf litter of four selected dominant tree species, Vatica lanceaefolia, Artocarpus chaplasha, Lagerstroemia speciosa and Magnolia hookeri was studied during July 2011-June 2012 in a semievergreen forest of Assam, North East India. The weight loss pattern and concentration of N, P and K were evaluated. The annual decomposition constant (k) ranged from 3.23 to 7.8 year-1 and was positively correlated with rainfall, soil temperature, soil moisture content and total N. Litter quality and initial chemistry affected the rate of decomposition. L. speciosa having highest initial N, decomposed at a relatively faster rate. Rapid weight loss was observed during the monsoon period. The present findings indicate that rapid nutrient cycling is enhanced by fairly high decay rates of the dominant tree species maintaining proper nutrient cycling in this tropical semi-evergreen forest ecosystem.Keywords

As every year, this authoritative collection covers recent advances in immunological science. Increasingly, fresh insights into hitherto undiscovered immunological processes are powered by the emergence of new technologies and approaches. This is an exciting time: The interval between an advance in the basic understanding of immune dysfunction and the emergence of potential therapeutics is shrinking, which augurs well for interventions aimed at bettering the human condition. Apologies are due to authors whose excellent work we could not review due to space constraints.Full Text
